Earning of livelihood by following some profession is better than living on charity.
If a person has ten habits out of which nine are good and one bad, that bad one will destroy the good ones.
Try as much as you can to mention death. For if you were having hard times in your life, then it would give you more hope and would ease things for you. And if you were having abundant affluence of living in luxury, then it would make it less luxurious.
Who do you think's better looking people in the north or people in the south?
Lower your gaze from the world and turn your heart away from it...
May Allah show mercy upon the man who shows me my faults.
